Each quotation clearly outlines what is included, the scope of delivery, and any operational considerations relevant to your organisation. When you return the signed quotation, the agreed pricing and terms are fixed for the duration of the booking.

Britannia Elite accepts both individual learners and organisational group bookings. Individual learners are integrated into scheduled programmes where appropriate, while departments and corporate teams can arrange dedicated group sessions tailored to their operational requirements.

If a learner cannot attend, the organisation should notify Britannia Elite as soon as possible. Options for rescheduling or replacement learners depend on the programme type and will be handled in line with the terms outlined in the quotation.

Qualified instructors with operational backgrounds deliver all training. They follow Britannia Elite’s standards for professionalism, safeguarding, and instructional conduct.

All training materials, specialist equipment, and any required sportswear or kit for specific modules are provided by Britannia Elite unless stated otherwise in the programme outline or quotation.

Organisations should advise us in advance if learners will be bringing valuables so appropriate arrangements can be made. This will also be set out in the Joining Instructions, including guidance on what not to bring.

All learners are expected to maintain professional conduct throughout the programme. This includes respecting instructors, facilities, and fellow participants. Any behaviour that compromises safety, welfare, or the learning environment may result in removal from the programme.

Foreign learners should arrive in the country with sufficient time to clear immigration, travel to the training location, and complete registration. Joining instructions will specify recommended arrival windows to support smooth onboarding.

Foreign learners must hold the correct visa or entry status for the duration of the programme. Organisations are responsible for confirming visa requirements with the relevant authorities. Britannia Elite can provide supporting documentation upon request.

Once a booking is confirmed, Britannia Elite will request the necessary learner details to support administrative checks. Where appropriate, we may forward relevant information to the learner’s consulate or embassy to confirm training attendance. It is the organisation’s responsibility to ensure learners obtain the correct visa or entry status for the full duration of the programme before travelling.

Where required, and with the organisation’s consent, Britannia Elite can forward learner details to the relevant consulate or embassy to confirm training participation. This is typically done after booking and before the learner travels.
